    Been using it on and off since I started seeking a replacement for dropbox as I've been trying to remove my dependancy on keeping data in the US. Particularly commercially sensitive client data.

    Very much like Dropbox, Mozy and all the others. However unlike them the NSA has very little chance of scanning your files using this service. It is based in Norway under Norwegian Privacy laws and Norwegian jurisdiction.

    Much speedier than dropbox too.

    The only way to keep data secure is to never connect to a network of any kind and never connect any device to it

    Relying on anything else to be private is a fools game, especially if you think the US or anyone else will respect Norwegian Privacy laws

    No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.

      Agreed. However the need exists. Also data held in Norway is unlikely to be so easily accessed as that kept in the US. Especially encrypted data.

            C'mon the reality is more like this

              As GCHQ tap all the routes out of the UK and pass the data to the NSA, you'll need to move to Norway along with your data

                Ah but I'm not in the UK :O)

                In any case communications are encrypted.

                  I strongly suspect that to the NSA and GCHQ, that just acts as an indicator of what to look at more closely

                    One of the reasons that MI5 / MI6 / the police weren't in favour of the Digital Economy Act was that they worried that it would encourage more people to use encrypted traffic. Beforehand, if someone was doing something really naughty, then they would be more likely to encrypt the data, so there was a much smaller pool to target. Now, many more people are using encrypted traffic, so the "security services" don't know whether you're doing something really naughty, or just torrenting porn.
